PSG sporting director Antero Henrique has confirmed that Rabiot does not have a long-term future at the club.

“At this point, no. It was a decision made by the club following a meeting I had with the player,” he told Yahoo! Sports.

“The player informed me that he would not sign a contract and that he wanted to leave the club by being free at the end of the season.

“For the player, this will have a very clear consequence: he will remain on the bench for an indefinite period.

“Several months ago, we had positive exchanges with his representative in the perspective that he remains at the club and signs a new contract.

“We also accepted all the conditions of the player related to the sports field. We had discussed these conditions so that he would stay with us for years to come.

“But, unfortunately, from now on, the discussions have totally stopped.”

Henrique also believes that Rabiot and his representatives have “misled” the club for several months.

“I must add that this situation is disrespectful for both the club and the fans,” he added.

“Especially from a player who has played under our colours from the academy to the first team and a player who has always received the full support of the club.”

Should Barcelona sign Rabiot?
